There was chaos in the arena.
“What are you doing!? Hurry up and move forward!”
“Hey, don’t push! There’s something blocking the way!”
“We are not moving forward at all!”
There was such a huge surge of people at the exit and entrance that it was impossible for anyone to go through them so they couldn’t even get out. In the meantime, monsters spewed out one after another from the vortex that appeared in the ring.
“E-everyone, don’t panic! Take turns! Please take turns so we can all go out!”
The commentator is desperately appealing, but the audience is not listening.
“Garuaaah!”
“Kyaaaaaaa!”
Some of the monsters had already climbed over the wall and invaded the audience seats. One of the spectators, who had nowhere to escape, almost fell prey to a monster.
“~~~~~~!?”
The large monster was blown away.
“Are you okay?”
It was Goritia who punched the monster away. With a grim expression on his face, he looks towards the ring.
“Just what is that? If this continues, a lot of people will die.”
“Goritia!”
“Oh, Anje-chan.”
“As long as we don’t destroy that vortex, the monsters will continue to appear forever!”
“Do you know about that vortex?”
“A little bit! Normal physical attacks don’t work on it, so we need powerful magic attack! It’s just that my magic isn’t powerful enough……”
Anyway, the two of them decided to head towards the vortex. Fortunately, the other contestants of this tournament have begun to join the battle to protect the spectators from the monsters.
“Leave the monster to me, my attack won’t work against that vortex anyway.”
“Okay, I’ll leave it to you!”
Leaving this place to Lill, Anje and Goritia head to Fana and Orion, who are very close to the vortex. Fana and Orion are now surrounded by monsters, but the Anje and Goritia managed to force their way through and reach them.
“Fana!”
“Anje. What about Master?”
Fana was in a terrible state of exhaustion and injury. Orion is in similar state.
“Several of the same vortex have appeared all over city! He went off to take care of the rest, so we’ll have to deal with this by ourselves! But first, drink this!”
As Anje explained, she hands the potion to Fana. Because she was in the middle of a match, Fana didn’t have any kind of healing item in hand.
“You should drink too!”
“Thanks……”
“I’ll buy you some time until you recover!”
Fana and Orion hurriedly drank the potion, and the wound closed as they watched.
“W-what is this potion!? I can’t believe that my wounds healed so quickly…… Uh! I’ve never seen such a powerful potion before.”
In fact, it’s a special potion made by Reus.
“Only magic can work on this vortex! And a half-hearted one is no use! We need a powerful magic to wipe it out in one go! Can you do that, Fana?”
“Hmm, it’s impossible.”
“I guess so. You and I are just using magic as a support after all……”
As they talked, the number of monsters continued to increase.
For now, Lill and the other contestants are barely holding them back, but if this continues, many of the spectators will be affected.
“I…… I’ll do it.”
It was Orion who spoke in a determined voice.
“If I unleash my lightning magic with all my might, I may be able to extinguish this vortex…… No, I’m sure I can erase it. As a hero and the prince of this country, I have a duty to protect my people!”
Of course, Orion is by no means a specialist in magic. Just like Anje and Fana, it’s unclear whether he’ll be able to cast enough magic to destroy the vortex.
But there is no other option now.
“.…. Alright. We’ll leave it to you.”
“Mmm, I’m counting on you.”
“As expected of a hero. Okay, while Orion-chan prepares, we will protect you at all costs!”
